Definitely the same saw, but I think your jig is an upgrade over the one that I have.

This is the one I got. It's pretty cool because it "locks" into place for you to do the cut. Then, when you push in the next piece, it "ejects" the one you just cut. Not saying it's better, just kind of cool.

Yeah I might upgrade to that one. Does it support the brass on the correct angle so you get a square cut?

The one I bought seems to work just fine, but I don't like having to keep my fingers that close to the saw blade.

No, it will allow a little tilt as you cut. But I run it through the sizing die first to neck neck down the brass, then cut, then trim. I saw it on youtube of course, but it works out really nice and easy and reduces steps.

I'm glad you brought that up. I've been going back and forth on which operation I wanted to do first.

Which resizing die are you using? I have both the Hornady and RCBS SB AR, and I'm leaning towards the RCBS.

I have the Hornady sizing die, bullet seating die and a Lee factory crimp die. Also using a Dillon 550 so my powder drop is from them.
